WHAT HAS BEEN A VERY BUSY FEW DAYS FOR ALBUQUERQUE POLICE, THE DEPARTMENT RESPONDING TO A JUMP IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS IN. SAUCEDO HAS A BREAKDOWN OF THOSE NUMBERS TONIGHT. WELL, FROM THIS PAST WEDNESDAY TO YESTERDAY MORNING, ALBUQUERQUE POLICE RESPONDED TO 207 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS. NOW, IF YOU TAKE THAT SAME TIME PERIOD AND LOOK, JUST A WEEK AGO, IT RESPONDED TO 146 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS. IT’S BEEN A TOUGH 24 HOURS SINCE WE’VE HAD A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DV CALLS. IT SEEMS LIKE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE SAW A 47% INCREASE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS THIS WEEK. THEIR CHIEF, HAROLD MEDINA, SAID MANY OF THESE CALLS CAME BETWEEN THANKSGIVING, THURSDAY AND BLACK FRIDAY, THE PANDEMIC, AND THEN HOLIDAYS AND ALL THAT. JUST COMPOUNDS EVERYTHING. KRISTEN MIDDLETON IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESOURCE CENTER HERE IN NEW MEXICO. IT’S FINANCIAL PRESSURES. IT’S. AN OVERALL I MEAN, EXPECTATIONS FROM PROBABLY CHILDREN. AND WHO KNOWS, YOU KNOW, EXTENDED FAMILY. SHE SAYS THE CENTER WORKS WITH SISTER FIRMS LIKE THE RAPE CRISIS CENTER. NEW MEXICO LEGAL AID AND PARA LOS NINOS TO OFFER HELP DO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT WILL HELP YOU. NOW THEY’RE PREPARING FOR A POSSIBLE INCREASE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE HOLIDAYS. WE’VE BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY THIS THIS WHOLE FALL HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT HELPLINE IS ANSWERED ALL THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS. AND I WILL TAKE IT MYSELF IF NEED BE. MIDDLETON DOES SAY THAT IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW NEEDS IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TO CALL 911 FIRST, THEN THOSE OFFICERS WILL HELP CONNECT YOU WITH THE OTHER RESOURCES THAT YOU MAY NEED. IN ALBUQUERQUE, ANGEL SAUCEDO, KOAT ACTION 7 NEWS ANGEL. THANK YOU. THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESOURCE CENTER HOTLINE NUMBER IS RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTOM OF SCREEN. FIVE, FIVE
